A FREE presentation by Emily Shapiro, sponsored by Rutgers Community Programs.
Former preschool director Emily Shapiro demystifies the private preschool admissions process in this workshop that offers parents information, support, and peace of mind. With her insider’s knowledge of how schools make admissions decisions and her years of experience as a teacher, Emily will help you know when to look, how to interpret the buzzwords and terminology preschools use, what’s really important in a school, and most of all, helps parents approach the process with confidence instead of apprehension. You’ll worry less and enjoy the process of discovery about schools—and about your child—more.
